Searching for Happiness (Ecclesiastes 1:12-2:26)
Big Idea: We won’t find happiness in learning, pleasure, or achievement, but earthly joys point us to the One who can satisfy us.
We all want the same thing: happiness. Every one
Ecclesiastes
Where Happiness Won’t Be Found (Ecclesiastes 1:1-11)
Life is temporary, fleeting, and repetitive, and we’ll all be forgotten. So don’t base your happiness on what won’t last forever.
Beware of Church (Ecclesiastes 5:1-7)
It’s dangerous to worship God, so guard your steps, listen well, do what you say, and hope in Christ.
Three Ways to Live (Ecclesiastes 4:7-16)
We need genuine community.
The End of the Matter (Ecclesiastes 12:9-14)
Life is a series of dead ends apart from God. So, fear God, and show it by keeping his commandments.
